In case you hadn't noticed, Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger is really running for governor of Northern Virginia.
Meanwhile, BET co-founder Robert Johnson has just donated $500,000 to the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidate (and current Lt. Governor) Winsome Earle-Sears, motivated at least partly by racist signs that popped up at a recent Democrat protest of an appearance by Lt. Governor Earle-Sears (Democrats - particularly elderly Democrats - sure find those old habits hard to break).
Btw, why are so many Democrat protestors so old? I watched a video of a (pathetic) "No Kings" rally recently and the average age looked to be around 70. Have these now-wrinkled and cellulite-dimpled specimens been spewing Marxist bilge all their lives? Are they simply carrying on where they left off 50 years ago when they spent their time harassing innocent citizens, shouting their bumper-sticker slogans through megaphones? Amazing that these people have learned nothing over the course of their three score and ten.
They have learned how to embarrass their fellow Boomers, who wish they would just stay home and leave the hair dye and inane slogans to the kids.
ReplyDeleteSuddenly the kids whose parents dress up in Star Wars attire are thinking it could be worse.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your BTW, Paco, this is a quote from an article in the AusSpectator.
ReplyDelete"Moreover, a sea change is coming with the passing of the Boomers. The New York Times had a significant piece last week portraying a profound four-year collapse in Democrats’ voter registrations across the 30 states that tracked this metric. Democrats lost ground in every state, with a 4.5 million voter registration turnaround towards the GOP. Some of the steepest declines were among younger voters and men. The Times described this as ‘a potential death spiral’ for Democrats. Clearly a new political era is forming."
Hoping that Australia will follow this American trend, as we frequently do, and we don't wait five years to do it, as we frequently do.
I don't know why so many people my age feel the need to make fools of themselves by jumping on every "progressive" cause that comes along. Is it a need to get attention, be relevant because they're old and they feel overlooked? Is it because they have this obsessive desire to be seen as "good"? Are they just bored and no good at hobbies? Or is it a hobby?
ReplyDeletePretty much what you listed, Rebecca, plus ... a fair amount of them are ancient hippies longing to re-live their youth, I expect.
DeleteOthers are just brainwashed and/or demented fools.
It's likely a hobby, something to get out of the house and 'make a difference' now that they're retired.
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd stick with collecting stamps or - as my weird Uncle Hubert used to do - salt and pepper shakers.
DeleteHubert missed a sure bet, not going after the silver cow creamers.
DeleteHaw! I wonder if he was engaged in a savage rivalry with another salt and pepper shaker fancier.
DeleteI do love a good salt&pepper shaker set, a favorite is the tiny outhouse set.
DeleteWhile I may not agree with everything Robert Johnson believes it, it is good to see some open honesty.
ReplyDeleteMOAR PLEZ!
